atomic

write me a postcard
from the good times past
embellish it with pleasant adjectives
and shape the words into an image
of feelings
paint me a picture
with bright and vibrant colours
to dampen the grey that clouds my eyes
cure the sadness with every stroke
of your brush
take photographs
of the places I will never see
capture the essence of their life
with your digital eye
and show them to my tired brain
speak to me in riddles
elaborate charades
and complicated sentences
taken from ancient books
of wisdom
do everything you are
but, please,
never forget me
